It’s unofficially done by some Devs in their free time. I low key hate that it’s publicised as having a Linux client, other devices also have unofficial clients.
Tidal also has Tidal-HiFi, an electron wrapper of the web client that enables HiFi music, which is pretty much all I care for a desktop client. It also pays artists much better so… Yeah.
I don’t need the music industry using my money for forward anti-consumer practices, thanks. Its unethical to buy music from the industry. Go see a gig, buy a shirt.
obligatory fuck spotify. the worst streaming service ever https://youtu.be/x6x5t0cj1sM

I can’t see any free tier, does this mean you’re telling the OP and all free users of Spotify to get fucked?
For all intents and purposes it’s the same client, I see no difference between the ‘official’ client on Windows and the Linux version
https://github.com/spotbye/SpotiFLAC Why use Tidal when you can just take the FLACs from Tidal for free?
Because the product is good and artists earn money that way. Idk.

For Qobuz there is an unofficial native client, with DAC passthrough: https://github.com/vicrodh/qbz
Works very well.
There’s an unofficial one for Pandora as well. I’m not claiming Pandora is a great service, it just comes ad free with my phone plan.
